interviews online workshops books cascadian zen we recognize that our home office is on the ancestral homeland of the duwamish muckleshoot and other coastal salish tribes our dedication to bioregionalism is to co exist on this land in the sacred manner as practiced by the traditional ways of these indigenous people statement on ahimsa by board member jason wirth january 20 2021 the poetry postcard fest and the cascadia poetry festival are connected when you re writing poetry part of poetry is the craft rules to be understood in a variety of contexts craft is a necessary but not sufficient condition you re also experiencing your mind at a very deep level and that mind as you experience it more deeply is not in a vacuum it s now and here rooted in the socio economic and ecological conditions that make it possible and participating in the spiritual exercise of these postcards is already entering into a deep bioregional awakening and conversion in a way we re trying for something like a spiritual revolution and that poetry is not just an interesting thing that you can do if you like it s a fundamental exercise of being here in a less harmful way it s a deep ahimsa a deep practice of non harming and cultivation and so it s all connected and our ambition is trying to have a mind that would be capable of being in this place in a better way we re going to live or die by how we come down on these issues going forward subscribe to cascadia poetics lab for our weekly newsletter festival announcements poetry happenings and new books success first name last
